Languages Challenge!
If you think that you will generate a lot of digital files, you could investigate keeping an online portfolio, such as a blog. What happens next? Once you have decided to take on the Languages Challenge and decided how you will record your portfolio, you should look at the tasks and decide where to start. You could plan all of the tasks you want to do, or you could pick one and get started. Your teachers will help you and check that you stay on track. When you complete a task, make sure you can show what you did and keep the evidence in your portfolio. What happens when it is finished? When you have completed your portfolio, bring it to show Mrs Culshaw or Ms Turner who will make sure everything is ready for it to be presented to the Routes into Languages panel at the end of July. There will be a Languages Challenge celebration, where visitors and parents will look at what you have been doing. You may be asked to perform, show or present one of your tasks to an audience. Pupils who successfully present evidence of completion of tasks worth 100 points from all 7 categories, will be given a Routes into Languages East Challenge certificate and prizes will be awarded. What is Routes into Languages East? RiL is an organisation that works with education establishments and businesses in the Eastern region to promote language learning. RiL is providing portfolios in which you can record your challenges and they will also be part of the team judging your work at the end of the year.
